Back to business

OK, here we are in the new year. I'm back to writing, and although I'm not making any progress on the novel as yet (besides reading what I think is related material...), the next collection, Red Spikes, is looking good. I've sent 9 of the 10 stories off to Allen & Unwin and drafted no. 10 yesterday and today. No. 10 begins:

I loved Annie Stork and she loved me. We ain’t never did the dancy-dancy, but I most certainly thought we would end up wed. I was looking babies into that girl’s eyes, even if I weren’t putting them into her below.

I've also completed a couple of short stories for anthologies and sent them off.
